Cavan boss Tommy Carr has revealed his 30-man panel for next month's Dr McKenna Cup campaign. Team captain Ronan Flanagan and star forward Sean Johnston are amongst those who will miss out from the squad due to commitments with their college. There are a number of new faces which have been drafted into the panel, including new Oliver Plunkett's recruit Gareth 'Nesty' Smith, Ballinagh's Allen Durkan and young Belturbet attacker Brendan Fitzpatrick. All three were involved in last Friday night's charity fight night, which saw 14 bouts of Cavan players going toe-to-toe in three minute-and-a-half rounds in aid of the BabyMax Wings of Love Charity and the Kelvin Brady Treatment Fund. The event, which was excellently organised in the Imperial Bar Hotel in Cavan town, allowed the players to demonstrate their fitness and skills obtained from weeks of training with the Cavan boxing club during the months of the GAA's collective training ban. Cavan's 2010 season starts on January 9 when they travel to Healy Park in Omagh to take on Tyrone in the opening round of the Dr McKenna Cup. Cavan McKenna Cup squad: Darren Murphy (Drumlane), Fintan Reilly (Redhills), Declan Reilly (Bailieborough), Eoin McGuigan (Belturbet), John McCutcheon (Cootehill), Mark Johnson (Cornafean), Killian Lynch (Cuchullains), Eoin McPhilips (Denn), Martin Cahill (Denn), Michael Hannon (Drumgoon), Dane O'Dowd (Drumlane), Mark McKeever (Gowna), Eoin Smith (Killygarry), Alan Clarke (Kingscourt), Joey Jordan (Lavey), Allen Durkan (Ballinagh), Tomas Corr (Denn), Ciaran Galligan (Drung), Donal Thomas (Killygarry), John Cunningham (Swanlinbar), Gearoid McKiernan (Swanlinbar), Brendan Fitzpatrick (Belturbet), Sean Brady (Castlerahan), Michael Lyng (Cavan Gaels), Nicholas Walsh (Cavan Gaels), Conor Smith (Cuchullains), Gareth Smith (Oliver Plunketts), Eddie O'Reilly (Mullahoran), John McCabe (Munterconnacht), Stephen Jordan (Lavey).
